Monday...
Back to work...
I totally forgot what it was like. To have a seperation of 'weekdays' and 'weekends'...
To wake up on a Saturday and wonder what I'm gonna do with myself.
I say 'Wow, I have all day to do whatever I want'... and then all too quickly it's gone...
Then Monday I drag myself to work and about an hour into it, I wonder how much coffee I will have had to drink before I give up on the hope of actually waking up altogether...
But then, about an hour before I gotta clock out I'm just getting into the groove of it and I almost don't want to go home... almost...
It's pretty neat getting to make up my own hours, but the saddest part to me is that it is the sanest part of my day... sitting there at my desk. I know exactly what I need to do. Whatever questions I do have, actually have answers. Any time I'm stumped there's a sweet lady just 2 desks down, ready and willing to help me figure it out or show me what to do.
Too bad all of life isn't like that...
But hey... we're looking on the bright side here...
Adora was, for the first time in I don't know how long, really and trully happy to see me when I came home!!
Right away ahe wanted 'up-ee' and if I even thought of putting her down she'd say 'no no mama' or whimper and CLING to me! Oh Heaven!!! And not too long after I first picked her up, little LoLo chimed in, making it perfectly clear that she wanted in on the action, and was nothing but giggles the minute she was in my arms. And I must say, I can't think of a sweeter feeling than that; having both my girls in my arms, and neither one wanting anything more than to be right there... held by mama... EVEN when Grammy came downstairs!!!! They wanted ME!!!!! I couldn't believe it! I wished it would never end!!!
But alas, dirty diapers and empty bellies won the last round...
well... it sure was good while it lasted.
